驴和马

AN ASS besought a Horse to spare him a small portion of his feed.

"Yes," said the Horse; "if any remains out of what I am now

eating I will give it you for the sake of my own superior

dignity, and if you will come when I reach my own stall in the

evening, I will give you a little sack full of barley." The Ass replied,

"Thank you. But I can't think that you, who refuse me a little matter now.

will by and by confer on me a greater benefit."
